Wow... it took me a long time to find this thread... but I see that Emily and Ryan are here and doing well!! Congrats, Steph!
I just wanted to say first that we welcomed Gage Palmer on his due date, 12/3/08 after being sent directly to the hospital from the dr's office. He was having a non-reactive heartrate and they wanted to check him out further. After some more tests and observations, doc said we could try to deliver vaginally, but the anestisiologist suggested not doing so due to the fact that his head was pushing on a nerve in my leg that he said labor may cause permanent damage and months of not being able to walk... so we opted for an immediate c-section... which turned out to be the best decision we could have made because the cord was wrapped around his little neck not 1, not 2, not 3 or 4, but 5 (yes, FIVE) times. Doc said he'd never seen anything like it. I am just so happy that we didn't try to deliver vaginally with that situation!!
Anyway, after all that, our little guy is finally here!!!!


Here's a few photos of my little guy from the day we came home from the hospital. We have newer photos, of course, but I haven't gotten them off the camera yet!
